Victory at Old Trafford saw favourites England go ahead of holders Australia to sit top of the World Cup group table on net run-rate.
Morgan s six-hitting spree in his career-best 148 set the tone for England s team total of 25 sixes, which was also a new ODI innings record.
The Dubliner s innings, which featured 118 runs in boundaries, was all the more impressive as Morgan had been doubtful for this match with a back spasm suffered in England s win over the West Indies, in which he could not bat.
"I m getting quite old, running around with a bad back, I never thought in my wildest dreams I d produce an innings like that!" Morgan said.
"I had an extremely bad back after the last game but our medical staff have done wonders with medication and extensive treatment. I have pretty much been living with the physio.
"It was a special day. It s the World Cup. We re loving playing in it. On the big stage, it is nice to do."
